I haven’t used Pinterest until now, but I am considering after these tips. It’s not easy to get any traffic from pinterest unless your pic goes viral.

A very detailed post. One of the ideas you mentioned “Conduct re-pin contests and propose special offers to your followers ” is very appealing. I am going to try out. Hope you join as one of the contestants. (smile)

Hey Nirmala, Great tip for increasing traffic through pinterest , i would like to convey that decent amount of traffic am receiving from pinterest alone but i wish you to add one more point you can have your website link on pinterest profile page which is dofollow and drives you PR juice and more clicks from pinterest users too, enjoyed reading and got an source pingraphy.com 🙂

Sad to know that you are not using Pinteret. Signup there and be active for 10-15 mins by liking, repinning and commenting on other pins of same niche like yours. Also pin your new blog post to get dofollow backlink.

Try this once and let me know whether you are getting good traffic or not?

This is indeed a very interesting post about Pinterest and i am happy i have been taking advantage of it for long, i hope the link juice it’s been passing to my blog will help my PR improve in the next PR update.

Hello Nirmala, I really did enjoyed your post and the wonderful tips you provide. Let me admit this to you, I don’t know how to use pinterest effectively even with all the efforts. I have gotten some likes and pined from my post but they are just not my main source of traffic. Nice article and i am sure it will be helpful for those lookin for traffic in that direction.

Great tips, Nirmala. 🙂 Though I do have a Pinterest profile, I have not got enough traffic from it. I will now try doing things your way and keep my fingers crossed.. Thanks for sharing you secrets, buddy!!

This is really a good post and a gift for those who are really looking for traffic. Pinterest has really evolved as a major traffic source for bloggers. Pinterst traffic is no more of less value than the facebook or twitter traffic.
